Customs: MP Megatron face change

I've seen a lot of people say that the Meg face was just..Off. Close, but, off. Some people went with the black around the eyes..Which works great, I think..But to me, if was more of the upper lip. Megs didn't really have one like that, the space under the nose etc..What ado you all think of doing something like this then?

I say Megs is way too expensive to even risk shaving down his upper lip. Maybe see if someone is willing to sculpt a replacement head or something first and then just swap them out. Maybe it's just me being overly cautious, but I can see this going bad very easily.

I agree with you.

This figure is so expensive and would be such a hassle to replace if something went wrong. I don't think I'd even want to do the "eyebrow mod" on mine unless I had a backup head.

Personally, I think moving the mouth area upward, so theres' less distance between the nose and mouth, and the chin looks larger/longer, would help a bit, but that gets into total resculpting territory.

All I plan to do is add some eyebrow paint. Don't tell me I shouldn't. I've customized Botcon toys, dammit!

I think he looks okay the way he is. There's nothing special about the black line over his eyes either - he actually has one, but it's hardly noticeable. I painted mine because it was the obvious thing to do, makes you wonder why TakaTomy left that out.

Man I wish they had just done the head the way the line art was draw for this figure. That looked absolutely badass, and from what I can tell, there isn't really any reason for the head to be this far off of that art and the cartoon. Oh well, at least we can do the eyebrow fairly easily.

i think they actually considered to paint the area around the eyes but aborted. hence the area around the eyes being indented. couldve been a last minute production decision or summat.
